mate pretty common problem. check the connector from the harness, they can corrode and cause a bad connection leading to the no start. I had the same problem, the connector was fouled up badly. I replaced the female connector on the engine harness side, scaled back and reinsulated the pin on...

thanks for the replies fellas, just saw the thread. think i might just get a rattle gun. sorry for the rethread.:beer chug:

Gday, well last night my harmonic balacer shat itself on my 94 VR. didnt want to keep driving it so i had to go home and swap it for a reliable vehicle (honda CBR954) :surprise: :p anyway just wondering, apart from a puller, are there any other special tools needed? yes ive got a torque...

if you are really worried about price, go to wreckers like pick 'n' payless dont know if you have something like that in perth, but worth a squirt. you can find grandma's written off lexcen with only 150000 kays or so, most of the time. all the parts on those finds are generally pretty good.

could be just the rubber gasket on the sump, dunno about the availabilty of a new one but. could even be the seal on the drain plug? so far as rebuilding other parts of the engine, what is causing problems? first thing i'd look at is the heads, my mate (mechanical engineer) rekons they are one...

one of the best threads on this was a couple of months back, and said the most common reason for **** fuel economy are injectors working badly, and a stuffed pressure regulator. came down to less power because fuel wasnt entering the cylinder not in a completly vapourised state, resulting in...

you can buy a long motor (im pretty sure everything up to but not including the harmoinic ballancer and heads, then starter motor, alt. etc) from delco(?) for about 2300. the heads wouldnt cost that much to reco buy themselves, maybe 500? could be an alternative worth considering. i am. cheers

you'll need a different length tailshaft and a different flywheel. the need for a new computer is a myth as far as i am aware for a VN, you will need to get it reprogrammed however. how much did you guys get a T5 for? and what conndition? my laygear bearing have gone up the ****, as with...

from memory the grade is 70/85? mate where did you pick up the t5 from and for how much, also if anyknows if a sedan and wagon manual have the smae length mainshaft? cheers

mate the side tanks are made of plastic, the core alluminium. if its pissing coolant, you will need a new radiator, you'll pay about 150-200 maybe less, repcos having a sale at the moment. you could get it repaired, but why bother for something you can do yourself so easily?

i've really got no idea how the hell they are melting, unless you use latex ones or somehting? mine use to slip off after i put a lukey system in, i just used some low tensile fencing wire from bunnings to secure it. worked a treat

i used to get really shithouse knocking coming from the heads, a rough idle, especially on a cold start, knock sensor came up on engine diagnosis, checked the knock sensor, oil all through it, ceaned it up, reset the computer, and she runs beautifully again, ill need to replace the sensor i...

mate i dont know much about heater core etc, but so far as the actual cooling system is concerned, three main possibilites (that ive fixed on my car in the last 12 months) 1.radiator hoses 2. radiator side tanks or less likly, the alluminuim (i think) core 3. the bearing seal in your water...

the ratios are slightly different V6 Ratios V8 ratios First: 3.25 2.95 Second: 1.99 1.94 Third: 1.29 1.34 Fourth: 1.00 1.00 Fifth: 0.72 0.73 now i dont know this from actually taking them apart, but i have been going over...

any help on these would be hugly appreciated. i really dont want to have fork out for a trip to the mechanics at the moment. 1/ theres a strong fuel odour coming from underneath the drivers door, i cant see any leaks around the lines, all the hoses seem in good repiar. there isnt realy a smell...

dont forget to wire up the light wire, (i think it was red on mine, or white?) to the cig lighter light, its also easiest to use the cig lighter itself (by splicing into the wiring ofcoarse) for a power supply and earth. soldering is best, but you can just twist and tape if you dont have a...

mate im sorry, but i wouldnt touch it. if he floggs it anything like he did when he took you for a drive, the gear box and clutch WILL BE TOTALLY ****ED. not to mention the mainshaft would be starting to have problems more than likely. from what ive heard from a mate that rebiulds a lot of cars...

jeez, ok, i got the info on the VR/VS dash from the archive on here. my tacho works fine, do you mean ill need to re wire it to stop problems from happening later?

are you sure the statsman grille wont fit? i used to have a grille with the stats badge on it. letter box grille are good, a new one (unpainted) will set you back 90 bucks but.

on the subject of oil pressure lights, every time i turn off the engine the oil pressure light will remain on from anywhere between 1 second and 10 seconds. the plastic retainer on the connector of the sensor is broken, but it seems to still hold its seal, is this the only reason the light comes on?

thanks for your replies. i connected the tacho signal wire to the red wire coming out of the coil pack. as far as i can tell, you should be able to hook it up to any of the wires going into the coil pack as all it does is count the pulse of one spark plug, hence one revolution of the engine...

lukey and redback are both decent brands and australian as far as i know. lukey catback 2.5inch will set you back about 300, but i got mine for 210 at repco. redback are a little bit more expensive but also come with the option of just the tail pipe without the rear muffler, that will be about...

gday. im only new but any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. i changed the oxygen sensor last week and the bloody engine warning light came back on last night. at first i thought i'd stuffed up the re wiring. so ran the self diagnosis check and code 43 came up. i havent yet...

i got a series 3 exec too. is it a man or an auto? if its a manual, could be a problem in the transmission. does it only happen when idling? if its a problem with the idler gear bearings; engage your clutch when idling. if the noise stops you could be pretty sure the problem is in the...

g'day just another spare prick chimming in had my VN sIII for 8 months. still loving it. learing the ropes of driving, even more so mechanically. loving the site. hope i can contribute in the future. cheers
